Weekly Photo Challenge…Symbol

People pray at the most powerful symbol of enduring Judiasm.

This is the most powerful Symbol of my People, The Jews. This is the Western (or Wailing) Wall, in Jerusalem, the last remnant of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in the year 70CE. When I was there, in 2007, this took me, and shook me to my core. A constant reminder of the plight of my people, all down their history. And a reminder that my people endure, scattered throughout the world. We all say, at the end of each Passover Seder, “Next Year in Jerusalem”.
